Known Intentions

In the halls of the Areishia Spirit Academy, Claire, Fianna, and Rinslet and were all depressed. It had been a couple of days since their failed mission in Gado. Not only they were defeated by Jio within the mines, but the military spirit that was sealed within the mine was taken and by Claire's sister Rubia who made her appearance. They had suffered injuries inflicted to them by Jio and they were helped by someone who they did not see. The next thing was that they were in the medical facility being treated for their wounds and it took them some time to heal their wounds. They were lucky as if any time later, they would not been able to make it. However the fallout was effective. The academy and Greyworth were blamed for the blunder that occurred. With Claire being involved in the mission and the known fact that Rubia took the military spirit, people started accusing Claire of actually aiding her sister to steal the spirit and it made Claire's situation much worse. Most of the students of the academy blamed Claire and accused her of actually helping her sister and the resent and bullying gradually started to get worse to the point that other shrine maidens of the academy were openly attacking her physically and using their contacted spirits. Faculty members and even Greyworth had to intervene to stop the attacks but the students did not relent and cursing and spewing hatred towards Claire for her sister's actions. Things were not better for Fianna as well. Being known as the Lost Queen, Fianna was ridiculed as well for her part of the failure in Gado and Rinslet had to deal with the same things. They would defend themselves from the slanders and the physical attacks from other shrine maidens and it did not stop and with the way things had gone, they would not be able to participate in the upcoming Blade Dance. Meanwhile Ellis was having a meeting in the meeting hall with the other Sylphid Knights with the agenda of helping out the people in the town with the Valentia Holy Festival that was going to occur although most of the other knights didn't have much respect for their captain since the disaster of the mining town of Gado.

"She's so full of herself," One of the knights whispered to another knight, "Does she really expect anyone to really take her seriously with the way she's acting."

"No kidding and add to the fact of that blunder in Gado," The other knight whispered, "The reputation of the Sylphid Knights and the academy as a whole has severely plummeted."

Ellis continued speaking but noticed that most of the others knights were not listening and she was frustrated at the blatant disrespect. She was about to reprimand them but the doors suddenly opened and brought the attention of the Sylphid Knights and it was the shiny blonde long haired young woman with icy blue eyes.

"You seem to have lost a lot of pawns in my time of absence," The blonde haired woman said.

Ellis was surprised to see her.

"Velsaria," Ellis said, "Sister… but wait, what did you just say?"

"I said that you lost a lot of pawns," Velsaria said coldly.

"Do you really think of the Sylphid Knights as mere pawns?" Ellis replied shocked that her sister would refer to them as such.

"Pawns are pawns," Velsaria said, "and yours are useless and disposable."

Ellis clenched her teeth disgusted that her older sister would say such things.

"You couldn't capture the assailant even though he was alone," Velsaria continued, "and on top of it all, you lost miserably which resulted that same assailant and the Calamity Queen to take the military spirit that was sealed in that abandoned town. Your disgraceful blunder along with that pathetic Lost Queen, that backwater noble, and the vile sister of that despicable Calamity Queen, that criminal of the empire had made you all look like fools and has damaged the reputation of this academy and to Lady Greyworth herself."

Ellis clenched her fists, "Say what you will about me but I must ask to please refrain from insulting these girls."

"I am a knight of Fahrengart, I never withdraw from anything I say," Velsaria replied.

"You…" Ellis replied.

"Or maybe you intend to stop me by force knight captain," Velsaria said looking amused and then she walked towards her sister, "Leaving the knights with you was a mistake," Velsaria stopped, "in fact…"

Velsaria held out her hand and used her spirit magic to blast the knights and cause damage in the meeting hall. After that, she looked around at the knights.

"Hmm, I see there are quite a number of you still standing," Velsaria pointed at four knights, "You, you, and you two, you girls are on my team now."

The four knights who Velsaria pointed at looked at the older Fahrengart.

"You can't do that!" Ellis protested.

"It's an honor," One of the selected knights responded.

Ellis was shocked in what she heard.

"I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to join your team," One of the selected knights as she stood in attention.

Another knight who was selected got up and stood in attention.

"As am I," The second selected knight said.

"I am as well," The third selected knight said as she stood up.

"It is an honor to join you," The fourth selected knight said as she stood up.

Ellis was shocked in what was happening and Velsaria turned to Ellis.

"Come to think of it," Velsaria said, "I heard that there was transfer student that Lady Greyworth recommended, a male Elementalist. I would've had him as a pawn as well. But it seems I was saved from the trouble. He would have been useless to me since he lost to that assailant as well. Pathetic… it's amazing that Lady Greyworth would waste her time on that filth."

"Sister, I must insist that you do not speak ill of him," Ellis said upset, "you don't know anything about Kamito."

"Kamito, was that his name?" Velsaria said, "Well it doesn't matter anymore since he died a miserable death."

Velsaria turned around and left and the four knights that Velsaria selected left with her. Ellis was left with the knights who were still on the floor unconscious and she had her head down feeling ashamed.

District 40 of North Rukongai, Minori, Soul Society

Deep within the forest, there was bright light and there was someone who came from the light. The person looked up in the sky and took a deep breath. Afterwards, the person went on their way going to their destination. Elsewhere in the district, the Oka Gang lead by Kenji Oka was facing the group of Shinigami led by Masanori Okabe who was the Captain of one of the Gotei 13's 10th Division. Kamito was currently being ignored as the Oka Gang were concentrating on the Shinigami that arrived here and facing the gang.

"So what is the deal?" Kenji asked, "What do you want?" Kenji smiled, "Perhaps you might have decided to actually join me and be part of my gang."

Okabe glared at Kenji in response and Kenji looked and sighed.

"Of course not," Kenji said, "so why are you here?"

"We know that you have plans to against the Seireitei," Okabe said, "confess and give up. If not, it will only be only worse for you."

"Oh, is that so?" Kenji replied and then turned to his followers, "Do you all hear that?"

The gang members started to laugh in response while Kamito was confused and wondered what was going on. Kenji laughed as well and then turned to Okabe.

"You Shinigami are really strange idiots," Kenji said as he was still laughing, "quite a made up story there. Really is this how you people pass up the time these days? If it is, then then it just shows that—"

"Shut your mouth!" Okabe interjected strongly.

Okabe's strong tone caused the Oka Gang to stop laughing and they were not amused and Kenji glared at Okabe.

"Don't take us as fools," Okabe continued, "Do you really think that you're clever in ways that we wouldn't be able to figure things out? We know you obtained something, an item and not just any item, an item that is dangerous. You obtained the item from four Shinigami who actually stole it yesterday. They are of course the same four Shinigami who ended being killed by that Hollow yesterday in this district."

"Them?" Kamito spoke surprised.

Kamito remembered the four Shinigami that fought against the Hollow and lost their lives in the process.

"Through our investigation, we know that those four traitors were conspiring with someone in this district," Okabe said, "checking the evidence that we recovered from their quarters, we were able to trace who they were conspiring with and who would have the item," Okabe pointed at Kenji, "following the trail points to here in this district and to one person and that would be you, Kenji Oka."

"Oh, is that's what's going on?" Kamito spoke surprised again.

Okabe noticed Kamito and stopped pointing at Kenji.

"You, young man," Okabe spoke, "you're not part of this gang, right?"

"Uh no, I'm not," Kamito said, "in fact, I was actually forced to come here."

"Figured as much," Okabe said and then he turned to Kenji, "I could tell and it's just as I heard."

"I would advise that you don't bother with the boy," Kenji said.

"Why is that?" Okabe asked as he narrowed his eyes.

"Because he's a useless piece of trash," Kenji vindictively said.

Kamito clenched his teeth and gave a hateful glare at Kenji.

"Then I'll just ignore your so-called advice," Okabe said, "beside you have no right to tell me who I can and can't talk you and besides, the only trash I see is you."

The gang members got angry in what Okabe said to Kenji and they were ready to the fight but then the other Shinigami stepped forward and faced the other gang member ready to take them on which sort of intimidated the gang members much to Kenji's annoyance.

"But back on the matter at hand," Okabe said "we know you have the item. Turn it over, come with us for questioning, and we can end this with no conflict. But refuse and you will find yourself in a world of hurt."

"Excuse me," Kamito said, "if I may, what is this item that you are talking or is it something that you can't talk about or even mention."

"Shut up you trash," Kenji said.

"You shut up," Kamito responded, "I'm talking to the Shinigami Captain, not you so you need to shut your mouth."

Kamito's response shocked Kenji and his gang while Okabe and the Shinigami were sort of impressed in the tone that Kamito was talking to Kenji.

"You little bastard," Seiichi said angrily, "how dare you disrespect the boss."

"I don't care," Kamito said not backing down, "besides, why should I care about the opinion of a lowlife thug who is weaker than me."

Kenji was wide eyed and turned to Kamito while Okabe was amused and chuckled a bit.

"What the hell did you just say to me?" Kenji asked.

"Do you really want me to repeat myself?" Kamito responded.

Okabe suddenly used Shunpo and reappeared next to Kamito surprising the black haired boy.

"Hey kid, why don't you take off?" Okabe suggested, "You don't seem like you can tolerate these scumbags so why don't take your leave. I'm sure you'd rather be anywhere else but here."

Kamito just looked at Okabe and was impressed with how he just moved from one spot to another.

"Kamito!" A male voice called out.

Kamito and the others looked and saw three men running towards and them and then they stopped and looked. It was Kota, Tatsu, and Ito and they were surprised to see the Shinigami.

"Shinigami?" Ito asked.

"Is that… Masanori?" Tatsu asked.

Okabe looked at the three men and smiled at them.

"Hello there Tatsu," Okabe said, "you as well Kota."

"I certainly didn't expect to see you here," Kota said, "it's been 50 years since we last saw you."

"50 years?" Kamito asked and then looked at Okabe, "Are you by any chance originally from here?"

Okabe looked and nodded, "Yes I was originally from here."

"Oh so you must be the one Kota told me about," Kamito said.

"Hey!" Kenji yelled.

Kamito and Okabe turned to face Kenji who was looking annoyed.

"You dare ignore me," Kenji said, "You people are idiots."

"I haven't ignored you," Okabe said, "but let's get back in the matter in hand. The item, return it and give up whatever plans you had against the Seireitei."

Kenji had his head down and he started to laugh.

"You think that you can stop me," Kenji said as he was amused and then he looked on with smile and then he took something out of his robe and showed it in his hand, "Is this what you're looking for?"

Kenji showed a deep red stone in his hand. Kamito saw the stone was surprised as he saw something that was familiar to him.

"Is that a blood stone?" Kamito asked.

"Huh?" Okabe responded surprised looking at Kamito, "Hey kid, you actually know what that is?"

"Well it's good to see that you know what this is Kamito," Kenji said with a grin, "You are correct, this is indeed a blood stone. In this stone, it houses a strong spirit, specifically… a strong fire spirit."

"A fire spirit?" Kamito asked surprised.

"Yes, the fire spirit called Ifrit," Kenji said.

"Ifrit," Kamito spoke.

"That stone does not belong to you," Okabe said.

"Oh but it is," Kenji said, "you people in the Seireitei are ignorant about this blood stone. This blood stone originate from the world that I came from and not just me," Kenji pointed at Kamito, "but to that trash as well."

Kamito clenched his teeth in response of being referred to as trash again.

"What do you intend to do with the blood stone?" Okabe asked.

"You actually got me," Kenji said as he was pleased, "I do intend to march to the Seireitei. There are items and techniques that are in the Seireitei's possession that are connected from the world that I came from. I'm willing to be generous though."

"What do you mean?" Okabe asked.

Kenji pointed his sword at Okabe with a grin.

"You join me," Kenji said, "join me and I will grant you power as well and you have that what you desire in the Seireitei. You will ascend from being a mere captain. What do you say? I'm sure you will find that you can get more. There is a connection and if you join me, you will know what that connection is."

Okabe had his head down and Kamito was surprised while the other gang members grinned and chuckled. Okabe had his head up and drew his sword. Kenji was not pleased in what was happening and neither were the gang members.

"Did you really think that I would go along with it and take your offer?" Okabe asked, "You really are a fool. I am a Captain of the Gotei 13. My duty is to defend and protect the Seireitei against any threat and you Kenji Oka, you are a threat and I will take you down."

The other Shinigami nodded in agreement with their captain and they all drew their swords and were ready to take on Oka Gang. The gang was upset with what was happening and Kenji was annoyed with the response.

"So you refuse," Kenji said.

"That's exactly what I am saying," Okabe said, "I will not betray the Soul Society for personal gain."

"Then you are a fool," Kenji said, "but fine, so be it."

Kenji held up the blood stone in his hand and it glowed bright red which surprised the others. A creature appeared and it was a form a huge fire demon with two long brown horns on its forehead with flames surrounding the creature.

"Is that Ifrit?" Kamito asked.

"It is," Kenji said.

"Take cautions everyone," Okabe said.

"Yes Captain!" The other Shinigami responded as they got in their stances.

"If you won't join me then you can just die," Kenji declared.

"Hey kid, you better get out of here," Okabe said, "Tatsu, Kota, get yourself out of here as well."

"Captain," Kamito said.

"Masanori," Tatsu said.

"You're not going anywhere," Kenji said as he raised his sword, "you will all die here. I'm not going to go around it anymore. Anyone in this damn district who will not submit to me will die! It is just that simple!"

Astral Zone

There was a disturbing spike of a curse that was spreading out and it was coming from the large aerial fortress Dreadnought that was in its Elemental Waffe utilized by Velsaria. It was black from the curse and black mist was spewing out of the fortress spirit. Many shrine maidens were on the ground bleeding and unconscious even among Velsaria's teammates that she picked. Four shrine maidens were standing facing against Velsaria and her Dreadnought in their berserk state and it was Ellis, Claire, Fianna, and Rinslet however they were not doing well themselves as they were also bleeding from their wounds and barely able to stand. Ellis looked up as she clenched her teeth looking at Velsaria who looked possessed. Velsaria looked down on the four elementalists that stood before her and she readied her spirit's cannons as she pointed at them. Elsewhere, the Shinigami was standing on a branch of a tree and was observing what was going on.

"A Curse Armament Seal," The Shinigami said, "that girl is going to die."

The Shinigami glanced to the side and narrowed her eyes.

"So she's there," The Shinigami said.

On the other side, there was someone who was standing on a branch of another tree and it was someone with a white cloak and hood and the person smiled.

"You can all die," The person said.

That's it for this chapter. Next chapter: Kenji let loose the fire spirit Ifrit against the Shinigami and someone unexpected shows up.
